I like King of Evening for Edmund, particularly, since his clandestine work is secretive...it would be easy to make him into a sinister figure, in myth-and he's not. He's the Redeemed, the Shadowmaster (master of the shadows on your heart, conquering those base urges by appealing to help from those who care about you-well, *I* like it. *shuffles*)...he's the *Just*..."great in council", grave but humorous, and well-aware of the power of forgiveness and mercy. (Even if you don't subscribe to Aslan as "rescuer", his *family* forgave him, so the theme still holds, I think.)
Lucy, hmm...since she's not the innocent of the books in your world, having grown up to be fiercely caring but at the same time coldly practical, I'm not as sure. Focusing on her aspect as youngest, the *Valiant*, what would the Queen of Morning suggest...? The Renewer, patron of new beginnings after you've screwed up? Coming in age after Edmund, and being the healer-queen, it might work. Heartsease, to counter Susan's Heartsbane (great name, better than Heartbreaker, too cliched) and again, to suggest the healing cordial and her special ability to listen and sympathize with people. Dawnstrike, as in "the break of dawn" and the blows of her knives...? I see what you mean about Quickfinger-I know what you want to suggest, I just can't pinpoint another name right now to sound more...*flails*. MORE.
For Peter, do you think Steelbright sounds better? I'm just thinking of what they'll sound like aloud and how easy or difficult to spit out when you're bleeding after battle or nervous in High Court assembly. *laughs* Breakneck is good, has that "full-throttle" feeling he gives off...the Fireater! Something with fire or heat, or burning.
AU!Jadis, the Sinister Queen...reminds me of a story by Tanith Lee I read where (in an AU version of Snow White) the witch queen, who was good, called on the Angel Lucefiel to help her transform her shape, naming him as "the Sinister Hand of God", who is not evil but merely doing his God-appointed job. Of course it was more elegantly-phrased, but...the idea appeals to me, her being the Sinister Queen, the Left Hand of the Emperor-Over-the-Sea, doing her best by Narnia whether they like it or not, damn it. *fends off evil!Aslan, the Rebel Son*
You'd have to REALLY get into her head to re-interpret some of the mythology and explain her bitchiness, but...intriguing. *grins*
